Report: The Phillies Have Traded Marlon Byrd (UPDATE: Nope)
AND WE HAVE LIFE.
Jim Bowden of ESPN is reporting that the Phillies have traded Marlon Byrd to the Yankees. Updates coming.
UPDATE: Nope. Jim Bowden – and therefore the rest of Earth – was duped by a fake Joel Sherman account:
There is a fake account that has me saying Marlon Byrd to the Yankees. I am not reporting that

UPDATE 2: Bowden’s Tweet was real. The fun part is, he didn’t credit Joel Sherman or the fake Joel Sherman. Double bad look. Something goofy’s going on with his account now:
THE DANGERS OF DEADLINE DAY
UPDATE 3: It looks as though Bowden has changed his handle from (@JimBowdenESPNxm) to (@JimBowdiv). Maybe no one will notice.
